Please don't just throw around that greatest ever title, even if only at one position... The fact is if Lebron retired today he'd be remembered as what could have been, the stats/accomplishments he's posted so far are great for 8 seasons, but nowhere close to "Greatest Ever". And in my personal opinion I'd currently rate him #6 on the alltime SF list. Behind Bird, Dr.J, Baylor, Pippen, and Hondo.

Current Top 10(Top 10 as of today, not "greatness)
1. Lebron
2. Howard
3. Wade
4. Dirk
5. CP3
6. Kobe
7. Rose
8. Durant
9. Dwill
10. Gasol



An excellent post which is logical and well thought out. Clearly it has no business being in this thread, however. ;-)

I disagree on your ranking, however and I'd move Kobe up, as well as, Durant who has established himself as probably the most explosive player in the league.

I'm a big fan of Kobe, but it really seemed like he struggled to turn it on this postseason, hopefully the extra rest/shorter season will benefit him and he can get healthy again. And I'm just not sure about Durant yet, offensively amazing I'm just not sure about his D yet. He and Rose are really pretty interchangeable to me.

Anyone that mentions my Uncle John gets a +1 and a free fist bump.

1. Kobe
2. Durant
3. Wade
4. Lebron
5. Melo
6. Amare
7. Howard
8. Dirk
9. Deron Williams
10. Westbrook

As far as the Lebron thing goes he shouldnt even be in the same talk as Jordan. Hell if Oscar Robertson (25.7 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 9.5 APG) isnt in the same talk Lebron has no reason being there. While he is a great player his attitude and seeming self devotion (not to say he isnt there for his team he just seems to be there more for himself) will keep him from attaining the level of Bird, Magic, Jordan when his career is over

You can't honestly believe that any of the SF's you listed, other than Pippen, could play consistent D on LeBron. I'm not sure Pippen, who's one of the best perimeter defenders ever, could hold up against him. He's just too athletic for anyone to shut down. Not saying any one of them are bad players but let's be honest here if he had had ANY help in Cleveland he would have already won a title. Cleveland went from being a title contender to being the worst team in the league. No one, even MJ had that much effect on their team.

The thing is, Jordan made Chicago into a consistent champion, and when he left, Chicago went 13-37, 17-65, and 15-67 the next three seasons, and this drop came when a 35 year old Michael Jordan left, not a 27 year old in his prime star player.

First off if you had read my post you'd see that yes I believe Lebron has considerable skill, but he hasn't been around long enough or done enough to take a "greatest ever" title.

And to your question, I'd have to say that yes he could for sure burn Bird and Baylor, Dr.J I'm not really sure on. Hondo I believe could slow him down just by being so relentless, while Pippen could contain him on the perimeter if not inside. But on the flip side do you really believe Lebron could shut down any of those players, aside from Pippen?

And finally, well he wasn't in Cleveland last season was he?
